The Voices stars Ryan Reynolds as Jerry, that chipper guy working 9-5 at a bathtub factory, with the offbeat charm of anyone who could use a few friends. With the help of his court-appointed psychiatrist, he pursues his office crush (Gemma Arterton).
However, the relationship takes a sudden, murderous turn after she stands him up for a date. Guided by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog (plus other animals, also voiced by Reynolds), Jerry must decide whether to keep striving for normalcy, or indulge in a much more sinister path.
Watching the trailer, I’m not 100% sold on it – it looks like it’s trying to be a kids movie and a new version of Doctor Doolittle at first, but then the serial killer aspect comes in and those two worlds colliding just don’t really seem to work.
The Voices is released in the UK on March 20th.
